[Review] Oil-blotting/ No Sebum Powder Battle (Innisfree, The Face Shop and Silky Girl)

Hi lovelies,

Today I'll write about all the sebum powders (I think that sounds about right??)
It's easier to call it sebum powder so...hahah
It's the war of the powders...

There are many types of sebum powders available in the market. At first I only see them in the korean shops but nowadays I see local brands carrying these powders as well. Yayyy

On to it..

1) Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder
This was the first one I bought and it's finish after 1 1/2  year hahahah. I mainly bought it because the face called out to me. Few seconds later, it's on the counter liao...hahah
I don't use much but I was glad that I bought it that I went and bought another one in another limited edition case, this time it's a cute action bunny. uwu
I saw on IG that they're gonna release a special mentos edition as well so if you like mentos, go geddit!
응 아니야



I use this powder to remove the excess oil on my face after applying makeup as well as throughout the day to remove oil on my face. Sometimes I pour a a bit ob my head to remove the oiliness especially if I'm walking out the whole day. I have bangs so this definitely came in handy when my bangs looked a bit flat because of the oil.

Heads up! There's a hint of fragrance but it's not a strong and overpowering one.

It's not that expensive (~RM20+)and it lasts you for a long time so go on and have a try is you guys are still deciding whether to buy it or not. That's why you're here right? heheh

2) The Face Shop Oil Clear Blotting Pact
I'm not kidding, this one was purely because of aesthetic but assa I didn't buy it myself.
My sister bought it for me for my birthday because I keep saying I like it. yayy
Price-wise, this is the most expensive out of the three (Almost RM60). This one is limited edition but I'm not sure if they have it on their own or not.


This one is basically the same sebum powder but compacted. So you can use it on your face but if you want to use it on your hair, you need to use the puff and apply it on your hair or use a powder brush. I don't think the puff can stay very clean for long if you use it on your head so that's why I rarely use this for my head. But I bring it around to mattify my face and a plus is that it has a mirror. wahhh

3) Innisfree No-Sebum Blur Powder
Aha!! This one...How can this be different from the first one?
Well, I also asked...I'll try my best to explain easily. There's not a lot anyways..
Basically, the mineral powder is to remove oil yea and mattify your face..
But this one does all that plus it blurs your pores making your face look flawless...kinda kindda.
So it's like a primer but in powder form.
The colour is light brown and not white like the others.
There's also a compact version buuuuuttt,  I dropped mine one day and the powder flew on the street. so bye bye.  I got this one because it seems safer.

Fragrance....yes....like the mineral powder as well.
Price is a bit more expensive than the mineral powder.

4) Silky Girl
I bought this because I had a whole day of competition and I don't want my face to look so oily throughout the whole day. Yes...I forgot all those 3 at home..
This one was inexpensive and I can use it on my hair and hand as well during my competition. Useful for both bowling and badminton. So this one is always in my sports bag..

It's not bad. It's actually almost similar to the Innisfree one and the price if no discount is actually almost the same but Watsons always have discounts yeayy. (RM22.90)

[Review] Rom&and Lip Gloss in #11 Pink Pumpkin and #07 Jujube

Hi lovelies,

Yayy Rom&and again today.

I ordered one of it from the website mlbb.com last time, liked the colour so much that I went and bought another one at the physical store at Sunway Pyramid.

I know they have another collection of lip gloss that's more glossy but it's not available physically in Malaysia so you need to buy from Shopee. They're almost Rm50 for one so I'll wait until I finish the ones I have first.Not easy when you keep seeing them on your IG feed yea...

The texture of these lip gloss are very light and and easy to apply. They're not runny and they sit nicely on the lips. They don't feel tacky and sticky at all.

Pigmentation is nice and quite strong. They do have tinting properties but not really strong so that's nice and okay for me. In these hot days, I don't feel like using products that are so matte all the time because I'll be hot and dehydrated as well anyways. hahah

Anyways, as for transferring onto other objects. After it sits on your lips for a while, the first when you go drink or eat, there will be a bit of transfer but after that there won't be any anymore.
I’ll add in extra pictures once I’ve taken them yea haha

There are many other colours to choose from, you can check them out on the website or find them on Shopee or the global Olive Young webbsite.

I hope you  guys have enjoyed this little review.
Stay home and stay safe (2020 motto).
I'll see you guys another time yea.
Bye...

Cheers, XX
